“For You created my inmost being; You knit me together in my mother’s womb.

I praise You because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Your works are wonderful, I know that full well” — Psalm 139:13-14

Does human life begin as worthless “byproducts of conception”? Does human life only have value if someone is working and producing? (watch out, liberals! Because most of the Democrat base would be exterminated on a ‘yes’ response!). Or is human life of incommensurably precious value?

Please watch this six minute Youtube video. I strongly suggest you turn down the volume level!

If your life began as something that is so valueless that your own mother can destroy you like a disease while the defied State smiles down benevolently, then why do you think that your life has any value whatsoever now?

You were once an embryo. And if your mother had aborted you, you would have died.

My life has value not because of what I have done, but because of what I am: because I am a human being. My human dignity is not utilitarian; it is ontological. Which is why Jews, people on welfare and senior citizens shouldn’t be marched off to the gas chamber. Nor am I any more “human” today than I ever was as an embryo, as an infant, as a teenager. When I was in my mother’s womb, I was “human” by virtue of my parents, and a “being” by virtue of the fact that I was a living thing. Now and from the moment of conception, I am and have been a human being.
